Instead of people retyping numbers from PDFs or routing stacks of paper, systems and intelligent agents can deliver complete, validated invoices straight into your ledger — including supplier details, invoice numbers, dates, amounts, tax breakdowns, categories, and attachments. The result is immediate visibility into obligations and a clean digital trail for every supplier transaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFor business leaders focused on operational efficiency and digital transformation, this capability is a lever for better cash flow management, fewer errors, and more strategic finance teams. When you combine Visma eAccounting’s create-invoice capability with AI integration and workflow automation, mundane tasks disappear, approvals accelerate, and teams spend their time on analysis and vendor strategy rather than data entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThink of invoice processing as a journey: invoice arrives, details are captured, it's validated, matched to what was ordered or received, routed for approval, and finally recorded for payment. The \"create supplier invoice\" capability in Visma eAccounting becomes the destination where that data is reliably housed. Other systems — procurement platforms, vendor portals, expense capture tools, or document processing services — prepare the invoice package and send it to Visma so it appears in the accounting ledger as a fully-formed record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThat package includes essential fields such as the supplier identity, invoice number, issue and due dates, currency and totals, tax information, account or category codes, and the original document as an attachment. Because the transfer is systematic, entries are consistent and searchable, and data flows into downstream reports and cash forecasts without manual reconciliation. You trade human transcription and delay for a single source of truth that scales with business volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eUnderneath this simple description are practical safeguards: supplier master data checks to avoid duplicate vendors, standard categorization rules to ensure consistent reporting, and attachment handling so auditors can always see the source document. Those capabilities make automated invoice creation a reliable part of your financial control environment rather than an operational experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI and agentic automation to invoice creation turns a straight data move into an intelligent, adaptive process. AI models read and interpret documents, enforce business rules, learn patterns from historical data, and make routine decisions on behalf of the finance team. Agentic automation — autonomous workers that combine planning, action, and escalation — executes repetitive work and intervenes only when exceptions arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSmart capture agents use OCR plus contextual models to extract invoice fields from PDFs and photos, handling different layouts and languages with minimal manual correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eValidation bots cross-check totals, VAT rates, and supplier IDs against master records and policy rules to catch anomalies before they reach the ledger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMatching agents perform two- or three-way matching (invoice, purchase order, goods receipt), automatically posting matched invoices and surfacing only the mismatches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eRouting agents send exceptions to the right approver based on value, project code, or vendor, and they can compile supporting context so humans can decide quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAutonomous classification agents assign cost centers, project codes, or expense categories based on historical patterns and defined mappings, improving reporting granularity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThese AI-driven capabilities reduce the cognitive load on AP teams, shrink error rates, and make invoice processing predictable.
